ing nozzle 17, Said nozzlelieing provided with a tuhe 18 extending intothe tank and terminating adjacent the bottom thereof. Air is supplied tothe tank 6 hy means of a suitable pump indicated at Q0. The airreceiving chamber 15 oit'the indicator' 13 is provided with a gageorlindioator wherebyY gesoleue, it' the oook or valve l@ is elosed,'

and the Cap removed from the filler 17, the pressure of air in the upperend ot the tank 6 will torce the ga-solene upwardly in the tube 18 andout ol" the filling nozzle. lt Will thus he apparent that the tank G icannot he resupplied with gasolene until the cook or valve '1G is openedto release the air contained in the tank 6 and tube 7. 'l `l1e gasolenebeing fed to the oarluireter hy the pressure oli air in the tank 6 abovethe body et fluid Contained thereinit will he olivious that so longasthe valve or cook 16 is open, there will he no positive feed of the fuelto the earhureter. Thus the niaohine cannot he operated. The owner ofthe machine, is thus at all times assured that the naine will not heneed during his ah- Senee and liability ol injury thereto as well asextravagant .use of the gasolene, is ohviated,

From the foregoing, it is believed that the construction, operation andseveral advantages ol my improved l'eed system for motor vehicles or thelike will he Clearly and lully understood.

Having thus desorihefjl the invention., what f is claimed is:

l. A fuel feed system of the eharz'lc-,ter de- Vscribedv comprising ineoinliination7 a. lnel supply tankAH a. gage Luhe, n liquid rondnotingpipe connecting the lower ends; fyi said tank, and tubej an air pipeeonneeting; the upper ends o't the tank and tuhe, a illiug nozzle :torthe tank, a pipe eoi'nieeted tl'ure-L to openingl at its lower endadjacent the bottoni el. the tanky and faire to open uuid inunieaton'Luftweon the air pipe ant' inosphere whereby the pressure ot the tankis released, or to oloSe .suoli eonnnu nieation and prevent relilling etthe Supply tank.

Q. A fuel `feed System of the eharueter di scribed oon'ilirising ineoinhination. lluel supply tank, a liquid conducting pipe eX- tendingfrom the bottom ot' the tank, a gage tube to which said pipe isConnected, an air pipe connecting the upper ends; et Said sup-- ply tankand gage tube to equalize the air pressures therein, an air preseureiijnlieator including an air receiving elunnher, a hraneh pipeemn'ieetingv said air pipe to said chamher, e filling pipe for thesupply tank :in tending into tho saine adjacent the bottoni thereof, anda leek valre for Said air Chain-- her adapted to he opened or Closed hythe operator to Simultaneoussly releaae the air from the supply tank andgage tuhe Where' by lfeed ol the liquid lfuel is prevented.
